Mr. P Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Again just as it looks like a partnership is building we get a wicket. New Zealand need to start slogging now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Plunkett giving deGrandhomme a tough time. That last wicket was really the first giveaway. Ground fielding good from England today. They've had a couple of iffy games but they've done well in the knockouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Actually feel sorry for de Grandhomme. Brutal from the English bowlers. The Kiwis really have not got going at all today but they've faced a group of bowlers at the top of their game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Bit of a messy over but it got another wicket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 241 - the pundits are talking about that being a competitive score. Difficult to say. Liked the look of archer. More than a hint of Michael "whispering death" holding about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I've repaired to the local just as we're 1-down. Got the makings of a close game. New Zealand started bowling well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rates ok, but a bit more ticking along will increase the pressure on New Zealand. I agree tho that they're tough competitors. Friendly folk, but hard.

I agree tho that they're tough competitors. Friendly folk, but hard. Is that 5 each from Boult and Henry? Think I'd have taken one down in the circumstances. You're absolutely right though. Just keep the score ticking over and make them earn their wickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Wow. De Grandhomme having an absolute mare today. Jonny looking twtchy. Really needs to keep calm. EDIT: Just seen the replay - how on earth has he put that one down? Awful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Better from Jonny - working the ball into space nowand all of a sudden the run rate is dropping. Plenty of twists and turns yet though one suspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Intriguing contest. Don't think there will be much in it either way. Root out. He's looked like a disaster waiting to happen today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Too close to call. Some very nervous players out there, that's for sure. Might be needing someone with nerves of steel to guide us to a win. Step forward Ben Stokes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Morgan has at least managed 7 from 11 faced. Which is pretty good for us so far.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
